Template Variables

A template consists of plain text with optional variables that convert into fields when a template is
applied. A template
variable has the following format:

$variable_name$

where variable_name represents an arbitrary identifier. When the format is correct, the variable
in shown in dark red in the template text: $variable_name$

The following template variables are predefined in ReSharper:

$END$: Denotes the final caret position after the template is expanded and the user exits the
template editing mode.

$SELECTION$: Denotes the text selected by the user before requesting the template
expansion. This variable is only user with surround templates.

$SELSTART$: Denotes the starting position of the text block that will be selected
after the template is expanded.

$SELEND$: Denotes the ending position of the text block that will be selected after
the template is expanded. The caret will be set in this position after expanding (even if the $END$
variable is present).

To make ReSharper automatically suggest values for variables in template input fields, you can supply
your variables with
predefined values and/or with macro-rules for calculating them.
